To use Lawrence's logic, we should hire him instead of you because your 
knowledge is mature and stable, and not growing as quickly as his presumably 
is at his stage of development as a programmer.  Or, alternatively, we should 
elect an infant as the nation's leader because their brain is growing so much 
faster than a mature adult's.

This leaving out the fallacy that Java has stagnated, a blazingly false 
assertion that Lawrence made with, as is usual for Lawrence, absolutely zero 
evidence cited (as if there were any) or reasoning proffered.

So, Lawrence, care to provide any actual factual or evidentiary basis for your 
apparent attempt to foment a flame war, Lawrence?  We're waiting breathlessly, 
Lawrence.

Aaaany time now, Lawrence.
